CORBRETTA is born!

(wil_wil2 @ Apr. 05 2007,15:18)QUOTESS's were governed at 160mph.  292rwhp is nothing to brag about coming from an LS1.  I have over 360rwhp from an L79(over 460hp at the crank, using a 29% power loss which pretty much bang on for my vehicle)
I said a "tune and a Loudmouth".  292 hp on a mustang dyno is more than 292 on a dynojet.  I'm saying that much power from 2 mods is quite a increase and that all LSx motors respond to modifications well and are great performers right out of the box.  Im not saying that you cant make more, Im just saying the potential to make power is greater with these motors than nearly any other motor ever produced.  BTW, this is coming from a 3100, 3800, L98, and 350 owner so as you can tell what I own is not creating a bias.

I know the difference between the mustang and dynojet.  But as long as the pull has been corrected it will read the same.  Saying that a LS motor has more potential to make more over nearly any other motor is a load of ****.  LS motors are a lightweight in any demanding environments.

Sorry about the delay.  Classes, a marathon, and of course work.  But this month I returned to work on the V and it should be on the road within a month.  Then back to the Beretta.  Now a "Mod Hell" nominee!

Geez Norm!  You spend all your time working on the V and hocking parts on the CorvetteForum.  Where's your priorities!!

My goodness.... you must make a TON on those 'vettes....  Have any CV shafts, or mag wheels laying around?

I have one pair remaining.  Did you tear up the originals?  You stud you!?  The stock half shafts should be good for most about of boost power.  Just not the abuse.

Email me for more info.

Someone is going down a similar road.  Can't image what 2x4 boxed rail weighs compared to the hydroformed Vette rails. If I only worked in a repair shop and had a bunch of friends to help out. ÂÂÂ

No wheels.  Thought about magnesium on the med garnett red but the wagon wheels only weigh 16-17 in 17x8.5".

Currently have inner shaft.

People have been stuffing small blocks into cars for years. That one's pretty out there, but over the past 50 years or so that people have been doing it, crazier things have been done.

Wow, I thought the wagon wheels would've weighed more than that..  The mags are like 16.9 for the 17x8.5

Glad to hear from you Norm....
